Abstract

Civil aircraft engines ingest significant quantities of mineral dusts during their operation in arid regions. These deposit on the engine components, melt at the elevated operating temperatures, and cause damage to the insulative Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) that are critical to the durability of high temperature engine components. New melt-resistant TBCs may only mitigate damage effectively for specific deposit chemistries. We have investigated the use of tailored additives to change a deposit composition, raise its melting point and prevent melt formation. Only CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) compositions were explored because deposits are typically simplified to this system. For our approach to work, it must be possible to reliably predict the composition, amount and melting temperatures of the deposited material and additive required to prevent melt formation at a given temperature. Experiments were performed between 1200 and 1400°C to investigate the chemistry and melting temperatures of a ‘deposit’ CMAS composition, and two ‘deposit + additives’ CMAS compositions produced by adding dolomite (CaMg[CO3]2) and/or periclase (MgO) to the ‘deposit’. We observed that enriching the starting material in CaO and MgO increased its melting temperature such that little to no melt would form on a high pressure turbine blade. Deviations of our liquidus temperatures from published liquidus diagrams show the need for further refinement of sections of the phase diagram. Greater understanding of the composition of airborne dusts around the world and their evolution inside aircraft engines is necessary before this approach can be used in practice.

抑制燃气涡轮发动机中 CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) 熔体形成的定制地球化学添加剂
民用飞机发动机在干旱地区运行时会吸入大量矿物粉尘。这些粉尘沉积在发动机部件上,在工作温度升高时融化,并对隔热涂层(TBC)造成损坏,而隔热涂层对高温发动机部件的耐用性至关重要。新的抗熔化热障涂层只能针对特定的沉积物化学成分有效地减轻损坏。我们研究了使用定制添加剂来改变沉积物成分、提高其熔点并防止熔化形成的方法。我们只研究了 CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) 成分,因为沉积物通常被简化为这种体系。要使我们的方法奏效,必须能够可靠地预测沉积材料的成分、数量和熔点,以及在给定温度下防止熔体形成所需的添加剂。我们在 1200 至 1400°C 之间进行了实验,以研究 "沉积物 "CMAS 成分的化学性质和熔化温度,以及通过在 "沉积物 "中添加白云石(CaMg[CO3]2)和/或珍珠岩(MgO)而生成的两种 "沉积物 + 添加剂 "CMAS 成分。我们观察到,在初始材料中富含氧化钙和氧化镁会提高其熔化温度,因此在高压涡轮叶片上几乎不会形成熔体。我们的液相温度与已公布的液相图存在偏差,这表明需要进一步完善相图的各个部分。在将这种方法用于实践之前,有必要进一步了解世界各地空气中粉尘的成分及其在飞机发动机内的演变情况。

期刊介绍: Materialia is a multidisciplinary journal of materials science and engineering that publishes original peer-reviewed research articles. Articles in Materialia advance the understanding of the relationship between processing, structure, property, and function of materials. Materialia publishes full-length research articles, review articles, and letters (short communications). In addition to receiving direct submissions, Materialia also accepts transfers from Acta Materialia, Inc. partner journals. Materialia offers authors the choice to publish on an open access model (with author fee), or on a subscription model (with no author fee).
